🔧 What Do BG Engine Performance Products Actually Do?

A lot of people think engine additives are just "mechanic in a bottle," but quality products like BG are designed to **clean and protect** not cover up mechanical problems.

Over time, carbon, sludge, and varnish can build up inside your engine and fuel system. This can lead to rough idling, reduced fuel economy, sluggish acceleration, and even increased engine wear.

BG products help by:
- Cleaning fuel injectors for a smoother-running engine.
- Removing carbon deposits from the fuel and air intake system.
- Cleaning sludge and varnish from inside the engine before an oil change.
- Helping fresh engine oil provide better protection against wear.

Will they fix a worn-out engine? **No.** If a part is mechanically damaged, no additive can repair it. But if the issue is caused by buildup and deposits, a professional engine cleaning service can often restore lost performance and help your engine run more efficiently.

At Rich's Truck & Auto, we've used BG products for years because we've seen the results firsthand. From smoother-running engines to cleaner internal components, these products have consistently delivered when used as part of proper maintenance. We only recommend products we've personally trusted and seen make a real difference in our customers' vehicles.

This 2017 Camaro ZL1 came in ready for some fine-tuning, and the results speak for themselves. 💪🔥

Before Tune:
⚡ 558 WHP
⚡ 592 WTQ

After Custom Dyno Tune:
🏁 601 WHP
🏁 634 WTQ

That’s a gain of 43 wheel horsepower and 42 lb-ft of wheel torque from calibration alone.

Current setup:
🔧 Long tube headers
🔧 Full exhaust
🔧 Cold air intake
🔧 E40 fuel blend

Every vehicle is different, and getting the calibration right is what brings all of those parts together. Better power, improved drivability, and a safer, more efficient tune.

Looking to get the most out of your build? Whether it’s naturally aspirated, boosted, or flex fuel, we’d be happy to help.

This G35 came into the shop packing a serious surprise under what would be the hood… a turbocharged 5.3 LS controlled by a Holley Terminator X ECU.

After spending some time on the dyno dialing everything in, we were able to optimize the tune for performance, drivability, and reliability.

There’s nothing quite like hearing a turbo LS sing under load on the rollers! 🎵💨

What do you think of LS-swapped imports? Love them or leave them?

This beautiful 1952 Ford F-100 is getting some much-needed attention in the shop! 🔧

Over the years, seals and gaskets can harden, shrink, and start leaking. We're going through this classic Ford and resealing the engine to help keep it clean, reliable, and ready for many more miles down the road.

Whether it's a modern daily driver or a timeless classic like this F-100, proper maintenance goes a long way toward preserving the vehicle's performance and value.

Stay tuned for the finished result, we can't wait to show this truck all cleaned up, buttoned up, and looking its best! 👌

Who else loves seeing these old trucks still out on the road? 👇

Not every dyno session is about chasing big horsepower numbers.

Today we had a GMT800 on the rollers for something just as important. A transmission calibration and engine tune designed to improve drivability, reliability, and transmission longevity, with some added performance gains.

These trucks are known for going the distance, but the factory calibrations can leave a lot on the table when it comes to shift quality and transmission protection. With a custom tune, we were able to clean up the shifting, improve throttle response, and help give this transmission the best chance at a long life.

A good tune isn’t always about making more power—sometimes it’s about keeping your truck on the road for years to come.
